Kenmore Canister vacuum won't start

\015 The vacuum was working fine, then the plug got pulled from wall. I immediately plugged it back in, but it does not start at all--it seems like there's no power going to it. I have tried changing the filters and letting it rest...all to no avail. It's several years old, but I don't want to replace it yet!\015

I was given a Kenmore progressive hepa filter 22313 Bagged Canister Vacuum recently, but don't have the manual.
We used it once to vacuum the house and it worked beautifully. Then we used it 5-6 days later and it started whining and getting hot.
What year was this vacuum manufactured? Where can I download an owners manual??

Kenmore canister vacuum 116.27615 won't start

I have a Kenmore 116.36932 (upright-bagless vacuum) that the motor protector by-pass valve has opened. I've clean out the area between the agitator brush where the flexible extension hose starts. There was some blockage there. I checked the rest of the system (extenstion hose, back filter area, pipe area to canister and area to side filter. I took the 2 filters out and the by-pass valve is still open.
Where else could there be a blockage that I can take apart to clean and put back together

I Have a kenmore 116.23612300 canister vacuum which will not start. I have power everywhere but nothing going to the black wire to the motor. Seems to stop at the pcb asm, #KC86WBZRZ000 . Nothing from there to the black motor wire. White wire to motor has continuity everywhere it should. Ruled out just about everything but the PC board. What does it do exactly?

My kenmore progressive canister vacuum won't start,any ideas, is there a fuse? it was on then just quit. I've checked all connections and made sure they are snug, and that it's still plugged in (!) model 116.

How do I open the hose handle assembly of a kenmore whispertone 4.5 canister vacuum? It seems to start at the sleeve where the flex hose meets the handle, but I'm afraid of breaking it by forcing it.

I had the vacuum cleaner question about the canister and the wand/powerhead... the Kenmore Progressive Vacuum canister model 116.25812 and the canister not powering off without unplugging the vacuum. The solution I received that they both run on their own switch so it is normal makes sense. However, is there a power switch on the canister anywhere? The only way for the canister to be turned off is by unplugging it. Any ideas? One would think there would be a switch. I am new to fixya and hope

Hi. On some models, one switch controls all of the power. Your issue, which is no working switch is almost certainly a blown triac on the circuit boar ...
